 PROMISSORY NOTE 
  

			
	$5,441,315	 	December /29/, 2005

 WHEREAS, Can-Med Technology, Inc. d/b/a Green Diamond Oil Corp., an Ontario corporation
(“Green Diamond”) has prior to this date advanced sums to CECO Environmental Corp. (the “Company”) as evidenced by a Third Amended and Restated Replacement Promissory Note dated December 30, 2004 (the “Prior
Note”), which Prior Note shall be cancelled and replaced by this Fourth Amended and Restated Replacement Promissory Note (the “Note”). 
 WHEREAS, Green Diamond has agreed to amend and restate the Prior Note and replace the Prior Note with this Note to extend the maturity date under the Prior Note and subordinate the amounts due thereunder to a new
credit facility upon the terms set forth herein. 
 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CECO Environmental Corp. (the “Company”),
a Delaware corporation, hereby promises to pay to the order of Green Diamond Oil Corp. or registered assigns (“Holder”), the principal sum of FIVE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED FORTY-ONE 







 THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DOLLARS ($5,441,315) on the Maturity Date, as defined in Section 1 below. This
Note is part of a series of Notes of like tenor and effect to this Note in the aggregate original principal amount of $5,000,000, which aggregate principal amount has been increased to $6,441,315, that were originally issued in connection with a
mezzanine financing by the Company (the “1999 Subordinated Notes”). 
 1. Maturity. This Note shall be due and payable upon
the earlier to occur of the following events (the “Maturity Date”): (i) April 1, 2007; (ii) six (6) months after repayment of the Superior Debt (as defined in Section 8 below); or (iii) the closing (any such
closing referred to as the “Closing”) of a Sale Transaction. For purposes of this Note, a Sale Transaction shall mean (i) a merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization, or sale of shares of stock of the Company as a result of
which there is a change in control and/or the shareholders of the Company on the date hereof (“Current Shareholders”) own 50% or less of the outstanding shares of the Company on a fully-diluted basis immediately after the transaction and,
including as outstanding for purposes of such calculation, any warrants, options or other instruments convertible or exchangeable into equity securities of the Company issued to persons other than the Current Shareholders in connection with the
transaction or (ii) the sale of (A) fifty percent or more of the assets of the Company or (B) any subsidiary, division or line of business of the Company for total consideration in excess of $5 million. 
 2. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance hereof and on any interest payment that is not made when due at the simple
compounded rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from December 30, 2004, the date of the Prior Note. Accrued Interest shall be due and payable on June 30 and December 31 of each year. It shall not be a default hereunder and
interest will not accrue on any portion of such interest payments deferred pursuant to the Subordination Agreement (“Deferred Interest”) so long as the Deferred Interest is paid at the time and in the manner allowed by the Subordination
Agreement. In the Event of Default (as defined herein), interest shall accrue on all unpaid amounts due hereunder, including without limitation, interest, at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum. If a judgment is entered against the
Company on this Note, the amount of the judgment so entered shall bear interest at the highest rate authorized by law as of the date of the entry of the judgment. 
 3. Payments. Payments of both principal and interest shall be made at the principal executive office of the Company, or such other place as the holder hereof shall designate to the Company in writing, in lawful
money of the United States of America. 
 So long as no Event of Default has occurred in this Note, all payments hereunder shall first be
applied to interest, then to principal. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in this Note, all payments hereunder shall first be applied to costs pursuant to Section 12.5, then to interest and the remainder to principal. 
 4. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes. The Company will keep at its principal office a register in which it will provide for the
registration of and transfer of this Note, at its own expense (excluding transfer taxes). If this Note is surrendered at said office or at the place of payment named in this Note for registration of transfer or exchange (accompanied in the case of

  

 2 








 registration of transfer or exchange by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly
executed by or on behalf of the holder), the Company, at its expense, will deliver in exchange one or more new notes in denominations of $10,000 or larger multiples of $1,000, as requested by the holder for the aggregate unpaid principal amount. Any
note or notes issued in a transfer or exchange shall carry the same rights to increase notes surrendered. The Holder agrees that prior to making any sale, transfer, pledge, assignment, hypothecation, or other disposition (each, a
“Transfer”) of this Note, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner in which any such proposed Transfer is to be made and providing such additional information and documentation regarding the Transfer as the
Company reasonably requests. If the Company so requests, the Holder shall at his expense provide the Company with an opinion of counsel (which counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), in form and substance satisfactory to the
Company, that the proposed Transfer complies with applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company shall have no obligation to Transfer this Note unless the Holder thereof has complied with the foregoing provisions, and any such attempted
Transfer shall be null and void. 
 5. Registered Owner. Prior to due presentation for registration of transfer, the Company may treat
the person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner and holder of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and interest on, such Note and for all other purposes. 
 6. Prepayment. 
 6.1
Optional Prepayment. The Company, at its option and without any premium, may prepay in whole or in part the principal amount of this Note at 100% of the face value of this Note at any time; provided, however, that if the Company intends to
prepay any one or more of the 1999 Subordinated Notes in part, it shall prepay the same percentage of each outstanding 1999 Subordinated Note. The Company shall, at the time of any such prepayment, pay to the holder of this Note all interest accrued
and unpaid to the Prepayment Date (defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, once a notice of the Closing of a Sale Transaction pursuant to Section 12.4 has been sent to the Holder, the Company may not prepay this Note prior to the Closing
of a Sale Transaction, or until the Sale Transaction has been formally abandoned. 
 6.2 Notice of Prepayment. At least
five (5) but not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed for any prepayment, written notice shall be given to the Holder of this Note of the election of the Company to prepay all or a specified portion of the principal amount
of this Note (the “Prepayment Notice”). The Prepayment Notice shall specify the date upon (“Prepayment Date”) and the place at which, payment may be obtained and shall call upon the Holder to surrender this Note to the Company in
the manner and at the place designated. On the Prepayment Date, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company in the manner and at the place designated in the Prepayment Notice, and thereupon prepayment shall be made to Holder and this Note
shall be cancelled. In the event that less than all the principal amount of this Note is prepaid, upon surrender of this Note to the Company, the Company shall execute and deliver to Holder a new note or notes in principal amount equal to the unpaid
principal amount of this Note.

 6.3 Cessation of Rights. From and after the Prepayment Date, unless there has been
a default under the Prepayment Notice, all interest on the redeemed principal amount shall cease to accrue and all rights of Holder as a Holder of this Note shall cease with respect to the principal amount prepaid and, with respect to such amount,
this Note thereafter shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. By acceptance of this Note, Holder agrees to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Company in order to
implement the foregoing provisions of this Section. 
 7. Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall at all times be
wholly subordinate and junior in right of payment to all obligations of the Company under or in connection with the Credit Agreement dated December     , 2005 (“Superior Debt”) among the Company, CECO Group Inc.,
CECO Filters, Inc., New Bush Co., Inc., The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company, kbd/Technic, Inc., CECOAire, Inc., CECO Abatement Systems, Inc. and Fifth Third Bank, upon the terms and conditions contained in the Subordination Agreement,

other holders, if any, of the Senior Obligations identified therein). 
 8. Repayment of Notes. In the event the Company completes an
equity financing or offering or a series of equity financing or offerings for a total consideration in excess of $10,000,000, then twenty-five percent (25%) of all such consideration in excess of $10,000,000 shall be used immediately, upon
receipt by the Company, to pre-pay the 1999 Subordinated Notes, provided such prepayment shall be made proportionately among the 1999 Subordinated Notes until the 1999 Subordinated Notes are paid in full. 
 9. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not, without the prior written approval of the Holders of a majority
of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 1999 Subordinated Notes (“Majority Holders”): 
 9.1 Obtain or
incur any indebtedness or other monetary obligations that are senior to or on parity with the Notes, other than the Superior Debt. 
 9.2 Allow, suffer or cause to exist any lien, claim, security interest or encumbrance on the Company’s property or assets, other than with respect to the Superior Debt and purchase money indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of
business. 
 9.3 Enter into any arrangement or agreement involving the merger or consolidation of the Company.
